File Handling During Ingesting and Archiving
The most important issue when the MA server uploads and ingests content from a P2 card is that the maximum size of a single video clip can not exceed 50GB in size.
Searching for and retrieving archived clips is simplified because the MA server maintains the clips relationship on the P2 card from upload through storage on archive discs. Related clips are kept together on a single disc or a sequence of discs. The MA shortlist for the content identifies each clip and on which disc it is stored.
High Resolution Content
The MA server does not change the original high resolution content. It looks the same regardless of the NLE that it is imported to.
P2 and PX MA Metadata
There can be two sets of metadata associated with a P2 file:
•Native P2 Metadata
This is the metadata that was added in the field,
•PX MA Metadata
This is the data that is added using the ProxSys Media Upload Utility and/or one of the MA server’s metadata editing functions. This metadata is maintained in the MA server database and is used for searching and retrieving proxy preview files. PX MA metadata is not compatible with P2 metadata and it is not downloaded to the NLE.
These two metadata sets are maintained separately.
